"Lots of fun. A must have for a MIDI studio."

Feature:
I think the features in this unit are pretty nice. There are 100 presets, and each preset can control multiple MIDI devices. For example, with the push of one pedal you could send 5 different program change signals to 5 different MIDI instruments, 2 different control signals to two MIDI instruments, and set the two expression pedals to send MIDI control values 0-127 for two different controls on two different MIDI instruments. Every once in a while I wonder why Behringer didn't give you the ability to send more than 2 controller signals instead of 5 program change signals with each preset - however it's really not limiting me yet.

Quality:
IN RESPONSE TO OTHER REVIEWS THAT CLAIM THE EXPRESSION PEDALS DON'T WORK: Out of the box, my expression pedals didn't seem to work. I calibrated the unit and they now work fine. Just do a search on the web for the words "behringer", "footpedal", and "calibrate", or something like that - the calibration directions are all over the web. Other than that, the quality seems pretty solid. The expression pedals feel a tiny bit flimsy, but I haven't had any problems with them.

Value:
For all the functionality you get in this product I think it's absolutely a good buy if you have multiple MIDI instruments that you'd like to use it with. I think it might be a bit overkill if you're only using it with one - however there's nothing else out there that seems better, so it's a good buy for that too. Understand that you should probably have an intermediate understanding of MIDI to get the most out of this and you'll have to spend a little time learning how to use it.

Desirability:
i dunno - it's not particularly ugly, so....

Sound:
Doesn't make any sound...

Support:
Haven't had to use it yet. All my questions have been answered by searching the web.

Overall:
I'll probably have this for a long, long time. Having two assignable expression pedals is great.

Behringer FCB1010 Pedal Customer Review

Feature:
Lots of features for the money. Despite the claims of other reviewers, the expression pedals on my unit work fine. I had to calibrate them the first time I used it and haven't had any problems since. Anybody whose having trouble with the pedals, read the manual and recalibrate them. My main complaint is that you can assign 5 program changes, but only 2 sysex sends (CC or Control Change messages) per pedal. I believe this is because the pedal is mainly designed to be used with guitar and bass amps that use MIDI to control effect settings. I use it as a MIDI controller for software on my computer and have far more use for CC messages than program change messages (CC messages are what you use for midi control of knobs, sliders and buttons on your music software). I suppose part of the blame goes to the software I'm using, as it won't allow one CC number to control multiple settings.

Quality:
Rugged, heavy. I spilled beer on it, and it still works fine.

Value:
Lots of features for the money. I bought B-Stock, so it was even cheaper.

Sound:
N/A - MIDI

Support:
Haven't needed to contact Behringer yet, which is a big plus. Their manual, on the other hand, is one of the worst I've seen. Behringer's Web site isn't great either.

Overall:
You get a lot of features for the money, which is why I bought it. On the other hand, programming it is more complicated than it should be and the documentation is horrible. A good buy if you're good at figuring things out on your own.
